A little stitching, a little pattern and I now have my very own La Cigale.  It's a lavender filled cicada, to fill a wardrobe with summery fragrances and memories of a lovely Le Rouvray.  The pattern went together beautifully.  I think the next one deserves some sort of hanging loop as well.

I'm busting out the fabric stash.  Aunts, avert you eyes as your Christmas presents may be looking a lot like this.
